I wanted to convey several things with my interpretation of this painting:

• The greyscale palette
• The combination of straight and curved lines.
• Hectic juxtaposition of patterns of different scales and intensities.
• The overall dark mood of the painting/subject matter.

The palette was obvious - shades of grey, black, and cream. I mixed three patterned items - the tank with a small, regular print, the jacket with a moody, shibori/tie-dye print and crinkled texture, and my Naot Origami boots, with an irregular, angular pattern (might as well call these my "cubist boots"!) I paired these items with streaky, faded black jeans. I also added a necklace with large round links to add some curved lines to the mix.

I think the closeup works better at evoking the mood of the painting, as the small print in the top seems to be getting lost and is maybe too delicate here. Seeing other interpretations of this painting pop up on the forum this morning, I'm thinking a more dramatic striped top might have been a better idea.

#5 is an alternate version of the outfit, which I liked but I thought the pinstriped jacket was too refined and feminine, and not dramatic enough for the mood I was going for. I will wear it some other time though.
